Joseph Schumpeter

Joseph Schumpeter appears in E162.康波周期中的AI：新技术总在萧条期爆发，bad times make good people as part of the economic-cycle vocabulary behind long-wave thinking. The episode groups Schumpeter’s long-wave framing alongside Juglar and Kitchin cycles, then contrasts that economic-cycle tradition with Carlota Perez’s more technology-installation-oriented framework.

The episode’s use of Schumpeter is conceptual rather than biographical. His role is to anchor the idea that innovation, economic growth, and institutional change can interact over long periods, which is why AI can be discussed through Kondratiev Cycle rather than only through near-term product metrics.

• Kondratiev Cycle — long-wave economic-cycle frame discussed in the episode.
• Technology Installation Cycle — adjacent innovation-cycle framework contrasted with economic cycles.
• Depression Driven Innovation — innovation pressure that rises when old technology profit pools weaken.
• AI Investment Metrics — shorter-term business metrics that the source places inside a longer innovation frame.
